1-try rettting the game's control layout back to default...you might have changed the layout 2-is this problem happening in other games as well? if it does, then we can consider taking the controller for repair 3-there is always ebay and amazon to get you a new controller 4-do you have a wireless or usb adapter to connect the xbox controller to the pc? in windows 7 you can use the gamepad as a gamepad and in "callibration settings" you can test the buttons go get those killstreaks!

Solution 2: Replace the batteries or the Rechargeable Battery PackInsert fresh AA batteries, or attach a fully charged Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery Pack to your controller.
If you have an Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery Pack

Remove the battery pack and reattach it to your controller, making sure that it is attached correctly.

Press
and hold the Xbox Guide button. In the upper-left area of the Xbox
Guide button, the battery meter indicates your current level of battery
strength. You might need to recharge the battery pack, if the level is
low.

If you have an Xbox 360 Play & Charge kit

Make sure that the Xbox 360 Rechargeable
Battery Pack is correctly connected to your controller and plugged into
one of your console's USB ports. If you check both of those things but
are still having the problem, try the suggestion below.

Plug the
charge cable into each USB port on your console, one by one. There are
two USB ports on the front of the console and one on the back. If the
controller works in one USB port but not another, try another accessory
in the USB port that did not work with the controller. If the USB port
does not work with any accessory, your Xbox 360 console might need to be
repaired.

Turn off vibration feedback (rumbling) on the
controller. If you play games with feedback while charging, it takes
longer for the controller to charge and might drain the battery pack
faster than it can recharge. Here's how to turn vibration off.

Press the Xbox Guide button on the controller.

Go to the Settings area, and then select Preferences.

Select Vibration.

Select Enable Vibration to clear the checkbox.

Solution 3: Remove objects between the controller and the consoleThe controller works within 33 feet (10 meters) of
your console. However, objects placed between the controller and the
console might reduce this range. In addition, objects that use wireless
technology (for example, a cordless phone) can interfere with your
wireless controller. Remove or relocate objects or wireless devices that
might interfere with the wireless controller or console. Here are some
things that can cause problems:

Microwave ovens

Cordless phones

Wireless routers

Chrome faceplates

Metal dividers

Shelves

Doors on an entertainment center cabinet

Note All licensed Xbox 360 console faceplates are tested for interference, and do not interfere with licensed wireless devices.

Solution 4: Disconnect all controllers and headsetsIf all four rings surrounding the power button on
the console are green but the controller has four flashing green lights,
four controllers might already be connected to the console. Disconnect
all of the controllers, and then try to connect the controller with the
problem.

To disconnect a wireless controller, press and hold the Xbox Guide button for three seconds, and then turn the controller off.

To disconnect a wireless headset, turn the headset off.

To disconnect a wired controller or headset, unplug its cable from the console.

The button can get stuck sometime, even if it doesnt look like it. That is y it keeps running. Under the button is another button that it hit s when you push it. You may have to open controller and play around with button a little bit. If controller is still under warranty get it replace by microsoft.

If your xbox is stuck in standby, you've got some issue. Unless you pressed the "standby" button on your router while playing Halo 3 at a weak attempt to try and cheat other players, and then your xbox 360 became stuck in "standby"mode, I have no idea what you are talking about. Elaborate. And if this occurred after prressing standby while playing Halo 3, you probably deserve having a broken xbox 360 since you were probably trying to cheat against me! As for the guy who's life revolves around Call of Duty, you have to stop playing sometime. Either when the console actually breaks from all the cheezy poofs and mountain dew you place on it or M$ poorly designs the xbox 360's to do this intentionally.
